Fidelity, VanEck, Invesco, and other financial giants have made amendments to their filings for Bitcoin Spot ETFs following a warning from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that recent filings were "inadequate." The SEC has previously rejected Spot Bitcoin ETF applications due to concerns about investor protection from market manipulation.
